My daughter is using the bathroom much more than usual. She does not usually have accidents. Within the last couple of days we have had to bring extra clothes with us almost everywhere we go. Not to be sick or anything....BUT...her panties have had a green stain to them. Her urine has had a little tint of green to it. She is not on any medication at this time. She says that nothing hurts but it itches "down there." Any ideas/suggestions. I am not sure if I should call the doctor or not. HELP PLEASE!!!

I would call the doc. Or even just go right now to a walk in clinic. That doesn't sound right.

I would see the doc--soon. maybe it's just a UTI or something simple that you don't want to let get out of hand.

sounds like she may have a yeast infection. This is easily treated. I would suggest talking to your doctor. You should also encourage her to eat yogurt which has the bacteria her stomach needs and reduces yeast there are alot of fun gogurts and drinkable yogurts that kids really like good luck.

I agree with the other. Check with the doctor. I've never heard of green urine. Well, now I have.

Some of the symptoms do sound consistent with a yeast infection but only recommendation is to see your friendly ped.

Ri always had this thick green discharge when she lived with her mom, but it went away after she came here 3 years ago. I did have it checked and they didn't think it was anything to worry about.
But her pee being green. I heard something years ago about that, but not for sure what it was. It seems like that means you are retaining water. But never heard of a child witht he problem. Let us all know when you have her checked out and what thye say it is.

Hi, I don't know if this is relevent, but I've heard that certain dark green vegetable can cause a greenish colored urine, such as asparagus or spinach. Also, food coloring. Has she been eating a lot of green popsicles? Also, certain fruit snacks and fruit roll-ups have a tremendous amount of dye! I remember that my oldest son had a bluish tint to his stool after eating three "Fruit by the Foot" snacks a couple of years ago....scary!

Also blue slush puppies have had this effect on my daughter, plus made her high as a kite for 3 days....suffice to say she doesn't have them anymore.

The green pee happen to me a few weeks ago. It was from purple gatorade but kool-aid can do it too. Your body does not digest red food coloring (which is why people can be allergic to red dye). Therefore it turns blue, mix it with yellow urine and you get green pee!

Yea, with the last one, my son used to drink the Blue Hawaiian punch everyday all day long, and even the Purple one. Needless to say he had green stools and pee. I was like OMG!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
